Abstract
We describe an intramolecular double Michael addition reaction using 1,3-cyclopentanediones with a Michael acceptor at the C3′ position of the C2 side chain through the formal umpolung of the 1,3-cyclopentanedione moiety. Silylation of the reactants generates 1,4-bis(silyloxy)cyclopentadienes, a silyloxy-substituted carbon which attacks the Michael acceptor to afford bicyclic scaffolds. Appropriate selection of the Michael acceptor induces further cyclization toward the activated cyclopentenone moiety to form a cyclobutane ring, affording cyclobuta[cd]pentalenes.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
